The Carpathia Kickers were formed in 1952 by a group a new immigrants
looking to create, what was for them , a very important part of life, a
soccer club. Anton Krebs was willing to become President of this
newly created soccer club. Mike Blasius lived near Stuttgart,
Germany prior to moving to Detroit, and he suggested the name Kickers,
after the German professional team Stuttgart Kickers. Joe
Wellinger mentioned since we are from Detroit, we would be named the
Detroit Kickers. So the name was born.
